188 N.C. 813

STATE v. WILLIAM PRESLEY.

(Filed 10 September, 1924.)

Appeal by defendant from Bond, J., at March Term, 1924, of Edgecombe.

Criminal prosecution, tried upon a warrant charging tbe defendant witb manufacturing spirituous liquors and witb aiding and abetting in their manufacture, contrary to tbe statutes in such cases made and provided, etc.

From an adverse verdict, and judgment pronounced thereon, tbe defendant appeals.

Attorney-General Manning and Assistant Attorney-General Nash for the State.

James P. Bunn and Lyn Bond for defendant.

Feb Cubxam.

There was ample evidence to carry tbe ease to tbe jury. Tbe exception based on tbe court’s refusal to grant tbe defendant’s motion for dismissal of tbe action or for judgment as of nonsuit, made first at tbe close of the State’s evidence, and renewed at tlie close of all the evidence, must be overruled.

The remaining exceptions relating to the admission of certain evidence are fully met by what was said in S. v. Crouse, 182 N. C., 835.

The record presents no new or novel point of law, not heretofore settled by our decisions on the subject. The trial and judgment must be upheld.

No error.
